253rd New Thing - Drank Wailua Wheat

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this a day late as this occurred yesterday (Fri 6/29/12).


Matt's co-worker had a BBQ tonight so I drank a Wailua Wheat by Kona Brewing Co. Wailua Wheat is an ale brewed with tropical passion fruit made in Kailua-Kona, HI. It is golden, sun colored with a bright, citrus flavor at 5.4% alcohol by volume. It is inspired by Wailua Falls where you can swim in a fresh water pool at the base of a cascading waterfall. It is on Maui if you follow the old Hana Highway. It has won a few awards such as a 2011 Gold Medal in the Fruit Beer Category at US Open Beer Championships, 2009 Gold Medal in the Wheat Beer Category at Portland Spring Beer & Wine Festival Oregon, and 2004 Best of the Northwest/Pacific in the Fruit Beer Category at United States Beer Tasting Championships. It is a pretty good beer. I hope I can drink it again swimming in Wailua Falls fresh water pool!

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?

132nd New Thing - Played with Talking Tom Cat

I was searching through apps on my Droid Razr and came about Outfit7's Talking Tom Cat . This app is described as a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice. I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app to my Razr to check it out. You can Talk to Tom and he will repeat everything you say with a funny voice, pet his body or head to make him purr, poke his head, belly or feet, grab his tail, pour a glass of milk for him to drink, and forget about him and he will yawn or sneeze. I find Tom only slightly enjoyable. What did you do today?
